I had a working OEM WHS installation for the last couple of months, and now I've installed that hard drive ino my new EX470, and want to make it my EX470's system disk.Īnd before you ask, yes I'm using a wired connection.

Now, I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem, but the 1-TB drive that I'm trying to install the HP recovery onto used to be used for my OEM installation. I fired up the HP MediaSmart Server Recovery Disc anyway, but it keeps failing to find the server. Well, the power LED remains a steady blue, and the 4 hard drive LEDs remain a steady red. I'm supposed to power on the unit, wait for the LED to alternate blue & red, and then press the Reset button. Problem is, when I power on the EX470, the power LED doesn't blink blue & red (as mentioned in the instructions). I just swapped the original 500-GB hard disk with a new 1-GB drive, and now I'm trying to do a system restore from the DVD. Just received my EX470 today, and didn't even bother to fire it up. How did you manage to get the restore started? From memory, I don't remember an option to select components but that doesn't say there isn't something else buried on the disk. It is an automated process with only 2 options that I saw. The HP comes with a server restore disk and that is what I used to put the operating system on the new drive. I received my first EX470 early this week and pulled out the 500gb drive and replaced it with a 1TB WD model. I still however, have the problem with my WRITE being really fast 25MB/sec to 50MB/sec but my reads are still really slow about 6MB/sec. also when remote desk toping into the box is saw the Windows Live Desktop Search and POSTGRE SQL installed - anyone know why? IT IS SO MUCH FASTER! - i think perhaps HP bloated this box a little bit with the Itunes, Assistant, and Photo Webshare etc. no more lag.whereas before when Balancing Storage if i were to click on say User Accounts it could take up to 7-10 seconds to render almost like a website couple of images at a time lol. THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY! no joke! Now i can browse using the Windows Home Server Console. (Note this may void your warranty and its not that easy to open this box up, msg me for instructions) Ultimately, i have carefully opened this box up and replaced the single sided generic Hynix DDR2 512 Ram Module with a higher end 1GB DDR2. I have tried many things, formatted & re-installed many times.

sharing pictures, music, and videos to a Windows Media Center "server" - which I connect to from an Xbox 360 as an extender (accessing Recorded TV from the WMC)įor the last week i was fighting for hours with my HP MediaSmart Server EX470. streaming music to the Vista box and a Roku Soundbridge streaming pictures to a Momento picture frame With WMP 11 and the embedded Media Connect software, I'm successfully:
I'm using WHS to back up a Vista machine and duplicate shared folders.Īlso, I've put the latest version of Windows Media Connect on this system by installing Windows Media Player 11 using the instructions here: I plan to migrate to the HP MediaSmart Server from my current test system (HP Slimline PC, 80 GB internal, 2 500 GB MyBooks, RTM of WHS)

But, since it's completely headless with no optical drive, I have no clue how to do this. When the Server arrives, I want to immediately perform a clean install of WHS.

What I *don't like* is the clutter and complexity of iTunes, HP's photo software, and the few other software doodads likely to ship on this thing. I like that HP's package has what I believe are the core elements of a very good Windows Home Server:
I'm planning ahead for my HP MediaSmart Server (ex470) - which I will order the absolute instant it's available.
